The spooks come out at night.....

It is the first day of October. Fall is in the air-and so are the spooks. I have always loved Halloween! Like most children, I couldn't wait to dress up and trick or treat. In later years it was visiting the haunted houses. Every weekend in October, my friends would all pile in cars and we would carivan to different "haunted houses" in the area. It was so much fun. I remember trying to get out of one so fast that I lost my shoe inside. It was never seen again ( que the scary music, "ohhhh, ewwww").Those days have passed, but today I always love to hear a good ghost story. During the month of October, I will intermittently try and share some of my favorites. If you have a good one to share, email me or comment and I will post it on my blog. Be sure to share your name and location if you want recognition. Additionally, if you have a photo to share of a scary location you have visited, send it in with the background of the history. I will be posting some of my favorite "fun" Halloween photos (sent to me and off the web) as well. Happy Haunting......

A Woman....

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of s*&t."

Words of Wisdom

"Older and wiser voices can always help you find the right path, if you are only willing to listen."-Jimmy Buffett

Sea JoyWhen I go down by the sandy shore,I can think of nothing I want moreThan to live by the booming blue seaAs the seagulls flutter round about me.I can run around when the tide is outWith the wind and the sand and the sea all about,And the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish.Oh, to live by the sea is my only wish.- Jacqueline Bouvier

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream." --- Mark Twain

The cure for anything is salt water---sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:12,13 NIV

Live a good life and in the end it's not the years in the life, it's the life in the years.~ Abe Lincoln

Let your boat of life be light Packed with only what you need --A homely home and simple pleasures,One or two friends, worth the name,Someone to love and someone to love you,A cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,Enough to eat and enough to wear,And a little more than enough to drink...For thirst is a dangerous thing.-- Jerome K Jeromefrom "Three Men in a Boat"

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."~Eleanor Roosevelt
